Heights of grown-up appeal

NUMBER 3 Sirius Heights has the kind of grown-up appeal that will make it a dead cert for couples or older families.

A three-storey, four-bedroom townhouse at Passage West, Co Cork, it’s impeccably finished and maintained, and the elegant layout makes for a cool, calm living environment.

At the guide price of €370,000, via Ann O’Mahony of Sherry Fitzgerald, there has been no appreciation since these properties went on sale in 2005, but instead, the buyer here will get thousands in expensive extras.
